Elevator Meme: Kael and Svalin
These human malls were so noisy. In an another effort to win back Vernique's respect, Kael had come along on this trip with her and Svalin. Somehow he lost them in the sea of humanity. Knowing that looking for them would be nigh-impossible in this environment, he decided to wait beside the floor's elevators. They'd have to take this route to get back to the bottom floor. He'd gotten a few questions asking if he was some "cosplay" fanatic. After a few choice words, most had learned to give him a wide berth.

	After a minute of silence, Kael speaks. "Does..Lady Vernique seem better to you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael raises an eyebrow. "You seem unusually sure of that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Solver and Vernique wilt always have a protector e'en when I cannot be there. Brandr ist pledged to protect their lives." The cost had been high, but they were worth it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin noticed and raised a brow. "Thou hath something to say?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just what kind of guarantee have you been given?" Kael guessed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There art not any guarantees in life, but the Norns didst say his fate ist intertwined with Solver and Vernique's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am going to guess the Norns wanted payment in blood for this," Kael surmised. "It would be in line with Aesir philosophy. Nothing is gained without the proper suffering." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-04 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," Svalin said. "Thou wouldst be correct." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael's head leans back against the metal wall. "Speaking as someone who grew up in an environment where every word is measured, I would have been more cautious in agreeing to such an arrangement. But..I understand why." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They art worth e'erything," Svalin said. "There ist nothing I wouldn't do or give to keep them safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-10-04 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I know that, Svalin, and I believe it. It's not your commitment or your family's worth that bothers me. The Norns know the words, but they do not explain the meanings behind them," Kael said. "They say their lives are tied together. How?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Brandr wilt be Solver's protector and Solver wilt grow to be Asgard's savior or it's destroyer. That fate is yet unknown." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What ist this theory?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-10-04 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Solver's birth was not predicted by the Eddas. As you said he can be Asgard's savior or destroyer, but what if there are other possibilities his existence brings about? In Ragnarok Surtur is said to destroy Asgard, but in the end falls himself. What if he desires another ending?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-04 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Mayhap," she said. "E'ry living being has a sense of self-preservation. E'en demons like Surtur." Though Svalin was the one who agreed to die twice a year. She shook her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael nods before looking back at Svalin. "I won't turn away from your struggles here. In spite of our two people's histories I find myself growing fond of your family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-10-04 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled. "We art most fond of thee," Svalin said. "Speaking of being fond of each other, thou hath not visited mine wife's bed in some time. Ist something wrong?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael suddenly goes both quiet and sullen. "Vernique has not been comfortable in resuming our..relationship. I'm too close to what happened in Asgard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
